Photographica is an information-focused photo editor that lets you put together a polished, info-rich shot in seconds. It automatically detects and separates the subjects in your photo into layers, so the popular "text behind the subject" effect is just a tap away (results may vary depending on the photo). KEY FEATURES ■ Layers you can slip BETWEEN subjects The app auto-detects what's in your photo and stacks each subject back-to-front. Drop your layer in at any depth you like. ■ A rich set of layer types • Text — fonts, colors, strokes and rotation, all customizable • Symbols — insert arrows and basic shapes with a single tap • Emoji stamps — turn system emoji into stamps as-is • Freehand drawing — sketch freely with your finger or Apple Pencil • Image layers — drop in another photo as a stamp • Speech bubbles — quick and easy comic-style edits • Map layers — embed a map using GSI, OSM or OTM tiles • GPX tracks — overlay your hiking or travel route on a map ■ Beautifully formatted shot info Coordinates, elevation, capture bearing, date — the metadata bound to your photo can be inserted onto the image with refined formatting. Choose your coordinate style (decimal or DMS) and units in detail, and fine-tune the position on a built-in map picker. Edited locations can be written back to EXIF, dramatically improving the accuracy of your hiking and travel records. ■ Photo-level edits Rotate, crop and resize the underlying photo. Crops support both fixed aspect ratios and free shapes. ■ Styles and filters Apply filters to individual layers or to the whole photo — from subtle color grading to bold artistic effects. ■ Projects and iCloud sync Every edit is saved as a project you can revisit any time from a grid-style browser. Projects sync via iCloud Documents, so you can move seamlessly between iPhone and iPad. ■ Export and share Export to PNG or JPEG, send via the share sheet, or save to Photos with EXIF preserved — ready for social media, print or long-term archives. PRICING The free version lets you try nearly every feature (with banner ads, rewarded video ads and a watermark). Upgrade to the full version to remove ads and watermarks. • 3-month seasonal subscription: $5.99 • Lifetime purchase: $19.99 REQUIREMENTS Runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. Available in English and Japanese. PERFECT FOR • Adding text and arrows to photos for stylish social media posts • Embedding accurate location and elevation on hiking and travel shots • Decorating family and kids' photos with playful elements • Anyone wanting depth-aware effects ordinary photo editors can't deliver • Apple Pencil users looking for serious mobile photo editing Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://kzi.jp/privacy-policy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NUCREATECH at none against Photographica's 2. NUCREATECH also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Photographica's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
